Is there any way to upgrade my 11 button OBC to an 18? If so, would it be a simply plug-and-play installation or will a rewire be necessary? Lastly, anybody know the best place to get an 18 other than ebay?
There are a lot of parted out cars for sale on the forum that would prolly be able to hook you up with an 18 button OBC. Anything about the install I know not.

There was a big thread on this before with a huge DIY. It looked like a PITA though. But do a search, its out there.

Yes, do a search. Big thread on this.
Honestly I've searched my ass off and I can't find what I'm looking for, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this thread. If anybody knows where to find it then please let me know.
On my first search I typed in "OBC DIY" and found this, #3 on the list:Originally Posted by fukngruvn

Good stuff! Do you guys know if you can upgrade to an 18 button unit from a 7 button one?
Yes, and I know people who have even substituted an OBC for an analog clock!
Hi.. old thread.. I just have to braaag (right word?) a little..
7 -> 18 button OBC, work about 1 hour (easy job)
And, i think i'm almost the only one in the f-cking world that has retrofitted Check Control.
Yepp.. my car had 7 button OBC from factory, no Check Control.
Now it has 18 button, fully functional Check Control also.
Retrofit the Check Control is about 1 day work and 40 meters of cable, and a few sensors. No big deal actually.
So.. it can definitly be done.. and not that hard. I did mine in januray in sweden, out in the parking.. it was a bit cold.. :P But, I got it done and working.
You don't even have to buy CC rear clusters, just cut the jumper between the taillights, solder a cable to it - and bam - check control rear clusters. easy, then just a few cables to the cc module.
Parts I bought for CC retrofit (if someone wonders)
-Check Control Module (CM)
-Sensor for coolant and washer fluid
-Wire.. wire.. and wire..
That's all..
Questions about check control? PM ..

Hi there!
I've some questions about your cc modul retrofit.
so my car had only the analog clock, now i retrofitted the 18 buttons OBC. It works very well since about 1.5 years. but now i decided to retrofit the cc modul for my obc.
so.. how to do that?
i have:
-modul
-connections (both of two)
-wire...wire...wire...
-sensors
i have sedan, from 97 with factory analog clok. but anyway, here's my vin AN26292.
thanks for a lot!
